Hey, I like how you created forums for the professional learning teams and KLA's .. I probably did too much messing about to create social groups for each of these when all they needed was a forum (and perhaps a supporting wiki). Very elegant Stephen :-)

area<br></font><br></div></div><div style="direction: ltr;"><span class="e" id="q_10af33a980f4fb0b_1">
<div></div>Attached is a view of the staff area that I was tinkering with and
briefly demonstrated at the last moodle meeting. It is work in progress and I
have a couple more changes to add. The pictures just make this dreary area a bit
more interesting and the admin staff can change their pictures via their
profile. They quickly learn to upload / modify and delete docs using the
folders. I create for them shortcuts to the very important docs for each area.
This area supports three groups that mean we can target news to all or teachers
/ SSO / other staff. The office staff keep the online calendar up to date for
this area by adding details of teacher level meetings. Public events that are of
interest to school council, parents and students go into the root level
calendar. Most docs are available as either PDF / ODT / DOC formats.
<br><br>Interesting thing is that control of the Intranet is now back in the
hands of the users to manage, control and use.<br><br>I have some thoughts about
adding discussion forums (mailing lists) for some of the areas listed,
kicking things off by subscribing key users. I also have had some interest in
setting up small wiki's for each area but will wait for the Moodle 1.6 upgrade.
Next project is to probably migrate our IT help desk area off our website to
something similar, perhaps wiki based... I will take it just one step at a
time.<br><br>Regards Roland<br><br>-- <br>Roland Gesthuizen - ICT Coordinator -
